Habits and expectations are the gains we make
when friendship grows! So used to connecting
with you, expecting to see you soon. Unsure
whether you would be there for me. But after
spending time together and lately enjoying
everything that we do, be it dancing or going
to watch a movie, a lunch at Blu, watching
and helping you make panzerotti and crispelle,
tasting these hot, walking in a neighboring big park,
appreciating the greenery, stopping under hundred
year old trees, wanting to go here and there.
So much in such a short time, like a storm or in
the rain when we think they are not going to stop.
Then sunshine arrives. We are ready for a break.
We go our own way, We want our own company
and do what we want to do, but savouring already
the next time together. Now it's our time, it's back
to our old routine. Our family and friends have
noticed our absence, our not being as assiduous
as usual with calls and visits. We can't create more time,
we have to manage what we have of this invaluable
commodity! Tonight I noticed after our short weekend
together that texting and connecting seemed superfluous!
In our heart we know that we are there for each other.
We need to verbalize. No need for FOMO. Our friendship
is now strong. A bond made to last as we walk
in the sunset of our years. As we watch that horizon
between sky and sea, together as companions. How
fortunate we are to have grown in confidence and trust.
Insecurities set aside. We know that we must remain
in this state of togetherness, whilst enjoying our own
freedom. This is what life should perhaps be. A Sunset Love
between you and me! Just thinking of you in the middle
of my night since you didn't text me 'buona notte, amore'.
